Actually, I think you can only push it to 192MB max. And that doesn't
make too much of a difference. But 80 UKP. That's quite a steal.

Wow. Actually, they are. But most CPUID utilities won't identify them as
Tongas. Both of the P2-300 chips identify themselves as Dixons in
/proc/cpuinfo in Linux. hell, even plasma-online.de, the definitive
hardware ID source that I turn to, got this one wrong. A fun bit of
trivia, the very first Powerbook G3s are known as Kanga. Not quite Tonga.

Oh, cry me a river. My Thinkpad 240 comes with a soldered-in CPU. I
can't even upgrade it even if I wish.

Hmmm...That's odd. You're a Brit and you passed up an Acorn Archimedes
over an Amiga? I thought only Germans are crazy about their Amigas.
Strange...
*tut tut tut*. Only 20 years old and already a hardcore geekgirl?
Yikes.
